C# User Settings

[Kalub]

Anyone know how to properly use User Profiles in C# Express 2008? I need to be able to read a value from DownloadURL on Form1 load, and apply it to a text box(txtDwnlURL), and then if it changes re-save it to that setting on Form1 close.


Please help.

Hmm this might be a bit of help.

Sadly, that won't work the for what I need to do. Here is an article on what I would like to do, but it is for C#E2005 not 2008. Anyone care to upgrade the code?

Oh, your using that settings? Thats for the app.

That will work for C# 2008.

Yea, well it doesn't. And while I may be using that method, I don't want to use the application settings, which are read only. I want to use the User settings.

If you could contact me via IM that would be great.

Wait...what is your problem again? You want to store a value so you can retrieve it at startup again?

Just make a new setting either Application/User and just use the code

Properties.Settings.Default.<SettingName> = <YourValue>

Meh, thats that hard way....


Data bindings are easier, also.

Properties.Settings.Save();
